It's hard to find someone who has never been called from banks or mobile operators advertising their products. What if you receive calls from spammers every day? It is very difficult to block all numbers, it is also not always possible to turn off the phone (you can wait for an important call), and you do not want to be rude and rude to operators. In this case, humor will help you!
If you are often called from banks with loan offers, then tell them that you are under 18 years of age or you are incapacitated. The operator must believe your words - this is how it is spelled out in the sales regulations. And no bank will work with incapacitated ones. Most likely, the bank will not contact you if you introduce yourself as a minor.
For example, you can pretend to be a foreigner when answering a phone spammer's call. Just a couple of phrases in a foreign language, not even related to each other (Ciao! Buon giorno! Sto bene. Parla più lento, per favore), and the spammer will lag behind you.
You can also present yourself as bankrupt - banks do not like to contact them either. And if you get a call with an offer of a "hot" tour or a tempting discount on a cruise liner, the best answer is a story about your judicial (which does not actually exist) ban on leaving the country.
Also, a good option would be to offer the services of a fictitious company in response to the spammer. Imagine this dialogue: “Hello. We would like to offer you our new tariff”. "Hello. Shop selling cat scratching posts. Do you want to order a scratching post for your pet? " After this, the operator will be the first to hang up the telephone receiver.
Of course, do not forget about the standard Quack Quack. Instead of answering "hello", "listening" and so on, just quack into the phone.
- Hello, can I hear Lyudmila Petrovna?
- Quack!
- You are hard to hear. Is this Lyudmila Petrovna?
- Quack! Quack!
…..
And so on until the caller gets bored and hangs up. And he will get tired of it very soon, because this method is gaining popularity, it is used more and more often and operators, hearing the word “quit” on the “other end of the line”, try to interrupt communication as early as possible.
And you can also, in response to a call with an offer of any service, offer them your own. For example, like this:
- Hello, my name is Eugene, I represent such and such a bank. We have a very advantageous offer for you!
- Wait, Evgeny. Don't you need super-foldable shovels?
- Not.
- But my offer is very profitable, you will not find such shovels anywhere else. Believe me, you really need them.
- No, thank you. Good bye!
- Wait, I have one more suggestion!
- … "beeps"
There are other ways to respond to annoying operators without rudeness. You can pretend to be an orphan or demand to address you as a star (for example, the operator's question "How can I contact you?" And your answer to it "contact me" my president "). The main thing is to turn on your imagination! And the simple method in the form of a silent end of the conversation (hang up) has not been canceled. The choice is yours.
